1、江西省2020屆高三英語二輪專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練：閱讀理解（65） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。） A The easy way out isn’t always the easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread.

2、 Knowing the bread would take time. I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there

3、was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried t

4、o enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking int

5、o the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had

6、 caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. I don’t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing—Doug or me. 1、The writer’s purpose in writing this st

7、ory is ________. A. to tell an interesting experience B. to show the easiest way out of a difficulty C. to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman D. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books 2、Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?

8、 A. The canned orange had gone bad. B. She didn’t use the right kind of flour. C. The cookbook was hard to understand. D. She did not follow the directions closely. 3、Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin? A. She didn’t see the use of keeping it. B. She meant to joke with her

9、husband. C. She didn’t want her husband to see it. D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun. 4、What made the dough in the bin looks frightening? A. The rising and falling movement. B. The strange-looking marks. C. Its shape. D. Its size. 5、When Doug went out the third time,

10、the woman looked out of the window because she was ________. A. surprised at his being interested in the bin B. afraid that he would discover her secret C. unhappy that he didn’t enjoy the meal D. curious to know what disturbed him B My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street an

11、d Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: "You won't catch me putting my money in there!" he declared, "Not in that glass box !" Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am conv

12、inced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money . In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (實(shí)物)that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have h

13、eavy walls, barred windows, and bronze（青銅）doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building's design made it appear impenetrable（難以滲透的）, the institution（公共機(jī)構(gòu), 協(xié)會(huì), 制度）was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in

14、 the prevailing attitude toward money. But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible（切實(shí)，實(shí)在）commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to th

15、ink of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disap

16、pearance of the heavy-walled bank. Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人們的說法)begins. 6、The main idea of this passage is that ________. A．m

17、oney is not as valuable as it was in the past B．the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank C．changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks D．prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable 7、How do the

18、 older generation and the younger one think about money? A．The former thinks more of money than the latter. B．The younger generation values money more than the older generation. C．Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money. D．To the former money is a real commodity b

19、ut to the latter it is a means to produce more money. 8、According to this passage, a modern banker should be _____. A．imaginative and creative B．reliable and powerful C．sensible and impenetrable D．a(chǎn)mbitious and friendly 9、It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attit

20、ude towards the new trend in banking is ______. A．cautious B．regretful C．positive D．hostile(敵意的) 10、Cash is rarely used nowadays because _______. A. it is no longer needed B. it is no longer useful C. it is often replaced by credit cards D.credit cards took p

21、lace. C Against the supposition（假設(shè)）that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space. This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest

22、to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season.

23、 Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling. This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up clima

24、te warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat. Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on fa

25、r-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leadi

26、ng to cooling. “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperat

27、ure. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 w

28、atts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth. 11、According to the new findings, takin

29、g steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______. A. result in a warming climate B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently C. lead to a longer fire season D. protect the forests and the environment there 12、The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT ____

30、_____. A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere B. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increase C. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into space D. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun 13、Earlier studies about

31、northern forest fires _________. A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate B. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere C. suggest that people should take measures to protect environment D. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming. 14、The underlined

32、 part “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means ________. A. released B. absorbed C. created D. distributed 15、From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may __________. A. warm the climate as the supposition goes B. allow more snow to r

33、eflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate C. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice D. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy D The booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”: Price: ＄10 BOOKING There are four easy ways to book s
